I am in the process of attempting to resolve an issue on a Server 2012r2 system. One of our backup systems noted a Filesystem Integrity Check failure.


I attempted to complete a sfc /scannow, but the system stated there were files that were unable to be repaired.

Looking into the sfcdetails, I found that there were a couple of 'cannot verify component' errors. These errors are generic in nature, so I can't replace the corrupted files manually (Microsoft.Data.Entity.Build.Tasks)


I ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to attempt to resolve the issue. However, I received the error code 0x800f0906. To resolve this failure, I utilize the /source option (Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:F:\sources\install.wim:2 /limitaccess) and utilized a mounted .ISO. However, now I am receiving error code 0x800f081f.


I have completed the following:

-Verified the source .ISO is the exact same version as the DISM (6.3.9600.17031).

-Attempted the repair with different .ISOs from different sources and difference versions.

-Attempted to manually repair corruptions.

  • net stop wuauserv
    cd %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
    ren Download Download.old
    net start wuauserv
    net stop bits
    net start bits
    net stop cryptsvc
    cd %systemroot%\system32
    ren catroot2 catroot2old
    net start cryptsvc

NOTE: The system is also fully patched, an has been rebooted quite a bit.


*I have not yet attempted to sacrifice a NUC to appease the Server, but it's starting to look like the only option.

Thanks for your help!
